      (e) If, after an accident, the driver of a vehicle involved in the accident is transported to a medical facility and a sample of the driver's blood is             withdrawn at that time for medical treatment, the results of a chemical analysis of that sample are admissible in any civil or criminal proceeding             to show the amount of alcohol or presence of a controlled substance or both in the person's blood at the time alleged, regardless of whether             the person had been offered or had refused a chemical test. The medical facility or person performing the chemical analysis shall disclose the             results of the analysis to a prosecuting attorney who requests the results for use in a criminal prosecution as provided in this subdivision. A             medical facility or person disclosing information in compliance with this subsection is not civilly or criminally liable for making the disclosure.
      (f)  If, after an accident, the driver of a vehicle involved in the accident is deceased, a sample of the decedent's blood shall be withdrawn in a             manner directed by the medical examiner to determine the amount of alcohol or the presence of a controlled substance, or both, in the             decedent's blood. The medical examiner shall give the results of the chemical analysis of the sample to the law enforcement agency             investigating the accident and that agency shall forward the results to the department of state police.
      (g) The department of state police shall promulgate uniform rules in compliance with the administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL             24.201 to 24.328, for the administration of chemical tests for the purposes of this section. An instrument used for a preliminary chemical             breath analysis may be used for a chemical test described in this subsection if approved under rules promulgated by the department of state             police.
(7) The provisions of subsection (6) relating to chemical testing do not limit the introduction of any other admissible evidence bearing upon any of the       following questions:
      (a) Whether the person was impaired by, or under the influence of, alcoholic liquor, a controlled substance, or a combination of alcoholic liquor and             a controlled substance.
      (b) Whether the person had an alcohol content of 0.08 grams or more per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of             urine or, beginning October 1, 2013, the person had an alcohol content of 0.10 grams or more per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of             breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine.
      (c) If the person is less than 21 years of age, whether the person had any bodily alcohol content within his or her body. As used in this             subdivision, "any bodily alcohol content" means either of the following:
           (i) An alcohol content of 0.02 grams or more but less than 0.08 grams per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of                urine or, beginning October 1, 2013, the person had an alcohol content of 0.02 grams or more but less than 0.10 grams or more per 100                milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine.
          (ii) Any presence of alcohol within a person's body resulting from the consumption of alcoholic liquor, other than the consumption of alcoholic                liquor as a part of a generally recognized religious service or ceremony.
(8) If a chemical test described in subsection (6) is administered, the test results shall be made available to the person charged or the person's       attorney upon written request to the prosecution, with a copy of the request filed with the court. The prosecution shall furnish the results at least       2 days before the day of the trial. The prosecution shall offer the test results as evidence in that trial. Failure to fully comply with the request bars       the admission of the results into evidence by the prosecution.
(9) A person's refusal to submit to a chemical test as provided in subsection (6) is admissible in a criminal prosecution for a crime described in section       625c(1) only to show that a test was offered to the defendant, but not as evidence in determining the defendant's innocence or guilt. The jury       shall be instructed accordingly.

(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section and in addition to any other penalty provided for in this act, the judgment of sentence for a conviction       for a violation of section 625(1) described in section 625(8)(b) or (c), a violation of section 625(3) described in section 625(10)(b) or (c), a       violation of section 625(4), (5), or (7), or a violation of section 904(4) or (5) may require 1 of the following with regard to the vehicle used in the       offense if the defendant owns the vehicle in whole or in part or leases the vehicle:
      (a) Forfeiture of the vehicle if the defendant owns the vehicle in whole or in part.
      (b) Return of the vehicle to the lessor if the defendant leases the vehicle.
(2) The vehicle may be seized pursuant to an order of seizure issued by the court having jurisdiction upon a showing of probable cause that the       vehicle is subject to forfeiture or return to the lessor.
(3) The forfeiture of a vehicle is subject to the interest of the holder of a security interest who did not have prior knowledge of or consent to the       violation.
(4) Within 14 days after the defendant's conviction for a violation described in subsection (1), the prosecuting attorney may file a petition with the       court for the forfeiture of the vehicle or to have the court order return of a leased vehicle to the lessor. The prosecuting attorney shall give notice       by first-class mail or other process to the defendant and his or her attorney, to all owners of the vehicle, and to any person holding a security       interest in the vehicle that the court may require forfeiture or return of the vehicle.
(5) If a vehicle is seized before disposition of the criminal proceedings, a defendant who is an owner or lessee of the vehicle may move the court       having jurisdiction over the proceedings to require the seizing agency to file a lien against the vehicle and to return the vehicle to the owner or       lessee pending disposition of the criminal proceedings. The court shall hear the motion within 7 days after the motion is filed. If the defendant       establishes at the hearing that he or she holds the legal title to the vehicle or that he or she has a leasehold interest and that it is necessary for       him or her or a member of his or her family to use the vehicle pending the outcome of the forfeiture action, the court may order the seizing agency       to return the vehicle to the owner or lessee. If the court orders the return of the vehicle to the owner or lessee, the court shall order the       defendant to post a bond in an amount equal to the retail value of the vehicle, and shall also order the seizing agency to file a lien against the       vehicle.
(6) Within 14 days after notice by the prosecuting attorney is given under subsection (4), the defendant, an owner, lessee, or holder of a security       interest may file a claim of interest in the vehicle with the court. Within 21 days after the expiration of the period for filing claims, but before or at       sentencing, the court shall hold a hearing to determine the legitimacy of any claim, the extent of any co-owner's equity interest, the liability of the       defendant to any co-lessee, and whether to order the vehicle forfeited or returned to the lessor. In considering whether to order forfeiture, the       court shall review the defendant's driving record to determine whether the defendant has multiple convictions under section 625 or a local       ordinance substantially corresponding to section 625, or multiple suspensions, restrictions, or denials under section 904, or both. If the defendant       has multiple convictions under section 625 or multiple suspensions, restrictions, or denials under section 904, or both, that factor shall weigh       heavily in favor of forfeiture.
(7) If a vehicle is forfeited under this section, the unit of government that seized the vehicle shall sell the vehicle and dispose of the proceeds in the       following order of priority:
      (a) Pay any outstanding security interest of a secured party who did not have prior knowledge of or consent to the commission of the violation.
      (b) Pay the equity interest of a co-owner who did not have prior knowledge of or consent to the commission of the violation.
      (c) Satisfy any order of restitution entered in the prosecution for the violation.
      (d) Pay the claim of each person who shows that he or she is a victim of the violation to the extent that the claim is not covered by an order of             restitution.
      (e) Pay any outstanding lien against the property that has been imposed by a governmental unit.
      (f) Pay the proper expenses of the proceedings for forfeiture and sale, including, but not limited to, expenses incurred during the seizure process            and expenses for maintaining custody of the property, advertising, and court costs.
      (g) The balance remaining after the payment of items (a) through (f) shall be distributed by the court having jurisdiction over the forfeiture             proceedings to the unit or units of government substantially involved in effecting the forfeiture. Seventy-five percent of the money received             by a unit of government under this subdivision shall be used to enhance enforcement of the criminal laws and 25% of the money shall be used             to implement the crime victim's rights act, 1985 PA 87, MCL 780.751 to 780.834. A unit of government receiving money under this subdivision             shall report annually to the department of management and budget the amount of money received under this subdivision that was used to             enhance enforcement of the criminal laws and the amount that was used to implement the crime victim's rights act, 1985 PA 87, MCL 780.751             to 780.834.
(8) The court may order the defendant to pay to a co-lessee any liability determined under subsection (6). The order may be enforced in the same       manner as a civil judgment.
(9) The return of a vehicle to the lessor under this section does not affect or impair the lessor's rights or the defendant's obligations under the lease.
(10) A person who knowingly conceals, sells, gives away, or otherwise transfers or disposes of a vehicle with the intent to avoid forfeiture or return         of the vehicle to the lessor under this section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not         more than $1,000.00, or both.
(11) The failure of the court or prosecutor to comply with any time limit specified in this section does not preclude the court from ordering forfeiture of         a vehicle or its return to a lessor, unless the court finds that the owner or claimant suffered substantial prejudice as a result of that failure.
(12) The forfeiture provisions of this section do not preclude the prosecuting attorney from pursuing a forfeiture proceeding under any other law of         this state or a local ordinance substantially corresponding to this section.
